Who let the dogs out? Oh, right. Our neighbors. Noisy jerks. (The dogs, not our neighbors.)
Part of me thinks I should marathon TMNT 1,2&3 on May 1 for their 25th anniversary. That would be a good plan if 2&3 weren’t terrible.
Had a lovely dinner+drinks over at @chasingdharma’s and Mike’s apt with @bwbeebs.
Turns out my adventure with Cygwin/Win2k3 was for naught since I still can’t “net start” mongrel over SSH. :( :( :(
My “unread IMs” counter when I got home read 152. Ha.
For the record, installing cygwin sshd on Windows Server 2003 is kind of annoying.
Found a new home to work route. Cut my commute from 40-60 min to 20 min today. Win.
Glad to see /^(\w+.)?rubyonrails.(org|com)$/ no longer points to a domain parking page. Typing api.rubyonrails.com is a reflex for me.
Dead pixels on the phone again. Grumble.
But still excited to measure + photog the new apt tomorrow morning, so it’s all good. :D
I was so excited to be a javascript ninja today, but zillions of interruptions killed my mojo. :(
I just saw one of those “OMG SPAM TWITTER 4 $$$$” promotional videos and was surprised to see someone I know IRL giving a testimonial. WTF?
Impressive! Got a spam that was addressed to just about every @thechaz.net address I’ve given out which has been spammed - and no one else!
Why do I have a feeling I’ll have to recreate the autocomplete-text-field-in-javascript wheel to get the effect I want?
Never knew Pobox was based out of Philly. Started by a UPenn student. They’re internet ancient! What other cool SW companies are in Philly?
Aw, I get to paint if I want to. Fun. :)

Malfunctioning TurboTax makes me sad and angry. Hopefully tech support will be able to straighten this out.

manayunk is comically hilly.
I should get a job where I just look at apartments on behalf of other people - enjoying this much more than I should.
Can anyone recommend a JS library for rendering directed node graphs or tree-like graphs? Needs compatibility with Prototype and JQuery.
“Implantology”? Really? Taking words and adding “ology” to the end of them does not make you sound smarter.
I’m not sure why my internal clock thought 10AM would be a great time to wake up when my external clock said 6:30AM when I went to bed.
Last night a drunk man repeatedly called me “Tad” and tried to give me a massage. On that note, come see Joseph tonight or tomorrow! :)
Starting the second (and final) week of Joseph! Ticket Info: http://tinyurl.com/czh765
Hm. It’s possible I’ll need to find a new job by July. If you know of any openings requiring my sort of talents, please let me know!
It’s a cliche how no one likes looking at other people’s code, but I swear the markup I’m staring down right now makes me want to stab.
